1. Healthy food means a healthy city: changing food culture Prof Gabriel Scally

2. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Preamble to the Constitution of the World Health Organization as adopted by the International Health Conference, New York, 19-22 June, 1946; signed on 22 July 1946 by the representatives of 61 States (Official Records of the World Health Organization, no. 2, p. 100) and entered into force on 7 April 1948.

3. “Human health is a subsystem of the Earth‘s health. You cannot have well humans on a sick planet. And that is what we are trying to do, with all our technologies: we are trying to have well humans on a sick planet.” Thomas Berry,The Mystique of the Earth. Caduceus, Spring 2003, Issue 59.

5. Farming and Food: A sustainable future ‘Through the development of local food economies, people have more opportunity to buy food from their region, either through supermarkets or more directly. Consumers are health-conscious and take a keen interest in what they eat. They know where it has come from. They know how it was produced. Through their purchasing decisions they reflect their concerns and aspirations for the world we live in. Bodies responsible for health promotion make effective links to food production and preparation as well as diet in the information they provide.’ Report of the Policy Commission on the Future of Farming and Food. 2002

7. Negative impacts of urbanization on food and nutrition increased competition between urban land uses and agriculture land on the urban and peri-urban perimeter; increased food supplies required, leading to greater traffic congestion and pollution, and to stress being placed on overloaded food distribution systems; changing food consumption habits, with increased demand for convenience and processed foods, increasing food quality and public health concerns; and distance of low-income families from markets increasing, meaning additional costs in time and transport to access food.

19. Food For Life Partnership Network of schools and communities across England committed to transforming food culture. Revolutionising school meals, reconnecting children and young people with where their food comes from, and inspiring families to grow and cook food. “The expertise and the passion and the whole school approach that the Food for Life Partnership has is absolutely leading the way at the front line of the fight against obesity – end of story.” Jamie Oliver “the most important food project in Europe.” Sheila Dillon

20. FfLP Selected Gold Award criteria Our take up of school meals is over 60% OR has increased by more than 20% since we enrolled with FfL. We are working with our caterer to reduce and manage food waste. We make sure at least 30% of the ingredients we use are from a certified organic or MSC-certified source. We source at least 50% of our ingredients locally. We are taking steps to increase the take up of non-meat dishes and to promote a balanced, sustainable diet. All our pupils have the opportunity to participate in organic food growing during their time at our school. Our pupils have the opportunity to take part in a programme of farm-based activities throughout the farming year. Our parents and/or the wider community are actively involved in growing and cooking activities in our school. Our parents can buy or collect organic and/or local produce at our school, or we direct them to alternative local outlets.

21. St Katherine’s School, Pill “We want to improve our food culture and involve our whole school and local communities in doing this. We are working with our Food for Life Partners on a five year initiative to revolutionise school meals, reconnect young people with where their food comes from and inspire families to grow and cook food.”

22. The results at St Katherine’s 60% of the school’s spend on food and drink for catering purposes is through suppliers based within a 50 mile radius of the school. Many of the suppliers are very local being based in Somerset. For example Failand Farm, supply organic meat and is less than 3 miles away, Farringtons Farm Shop in Farrington Gurney supply vegetables and is 18 miles away with Chalmers, Cheddar supplying cheese being 33 miles away. The school also has its own school gardener, 2 members of staff and approximately 20 students who are actively involved with the organic school garden, regularly supplying produce for school meals.
